Exactly, his win over Thurman was HUGE, its easily one of the top wins of this year and in the sport, the fact that he's getting so little credit for it it's absolutely perplexing to me, and actually pisses me off. It's almost as if Manny Pacquiao exists in some space time continuum that's outside the sport of boxing at times, like all of his accomplishments are measured by some inhumanly crazy standard and no one else is measured to. Quite frankly it's bizarre.
Thurman was arguably the best welterweight on the planet, and definitely had the best resume at welterweight going into that fight. What's the disconnect here?
Pacquiao shut out Broner and then beat the **** out of Thurman and snatched his 0 AND his belts. FIGHTER OF THE YEAR.
Thurman was top 3 or 4 and Pacquiao beat him by a smidge. Spence and Crawford would **** them both up.
Top three or four by whose standards? He sure as **** has better wins at welterweight than Crawford and Spence do, there's literally no debating that. And beating him pretty decisively isn't a smidge. Although you're not really known for your astonishing judging abilities. For what it's worth, it doesn't matter who you or I think will win a match up, it's who has the better resume, and that would be Manny Pacquiao.
He is definitely on the road to Fighter of the Year. Only thing that could derail that train is if Ruiz beats Joshua again in the rematch.
Let's remove 40 year old Manny Pacquiao from the equation. ANYONE that shuts out Broner (no one has shut him out before) and has him running for survival and and then goes on to put a beating on Thurman and snatch his 0 and belt is the Fighter of the Year. Just imagine if Mikey or Danny or Shawn did it. People would cream their panties. I mean, even forget that none of these guys (Mikey said he was around 155) would give up 10-15 pounds in doing so.
Porter would beat Khan to death, especially the version that Crawford fought. Porter gave Brook fits, and that wasn't one that was a weight drained shot the s*** shell from being beaten senseless by Gennady Golovkin. Porter's wins over Khan conqueror Garcia, Broner, Berto, Ugas, Granados, and his close fight against Thurman, are far more impressive than blown up lightweight, and a glass jawed fraud. I deleted that comment about your standards, I'm sleepy.
1. Inoue 2. Loma 3. Usyk 4. Golovkin 5. Crawford 6. Spence 7. Pac I am stopping with a top 7 and leaving out the tainted meat fella for obvious reasons.
Stevenson was fighter of the year in 2013. Pretty sure most people still had Floyd p4p #1. This content is protected
Jesus, you could almost swear he's dealing with a TBI right now, he really should give up this sport, he doesn't have the brain cells to spare.
